Senate Bill 175 makes careless driving in which a vulnerable road user gets seriously injured a class 1 traffic misdemeanor. It gives judges the authority to order restitution and suspend a driver’s license for up to one year as well as require the motorist to attend driver improvement courses or perform public service. It passed the Colorado House and Senate with overwhelmingly bipartisan support. Only two senators and five representatives voted against it.

The San Antonio Express-News reports that the City Council approved the incentives on Thursday. Mayor Ron Nirenberg and his council colleagues approved the package after praising Toyota for the impact it has already had in the area.

Schoettle grew up in Indianapolis, graduating from Southport High School and Indiana University. He then departed on a tour of middle Indiana, reporting for papers in Greenwood, Frankfort, Columbus and Franklin before landing at IBJ in 1998. At his previous jobs, he spent a decade as a political and government reporter. Beyond writing, Schoettle’s passions include animals and wildlife, watching all manner of television and long-distance cycling and running. Though he put away his trumpet many years ago, he remains an avid music fan. Schoettle shares his home in Southport with his wife, Elizabeth, three salty dogs and three sweet cats. Preferring to live in a “park-like setting,” one of his primary goals each spring and summer is to see how seldom he can mow his front lawn.

Styling changes for the 2020 BMW X1 move it more in line with the bigger members of BMW’s crossover family, the X3, X5, and X7 . Up front, that means a larger grille with more sharply defined slats, flanked by redesigned optional LED headlights that incorporate a hexagonal light signature. The lower front fascia is reshaped with a larger opening and integrated LED fog lights. At the rear, the LED taillights are dark tinted and illuminate an L-shape. Larger twin exhaust outlets poke through a restyled rear bumper. The standard bi-color 18-inch Y-spoke wheels have a new design and can be swapped with Jet Black double-spoke units at no charge. New 19-inch wheels are optional.

How I know: I spent a weekend driving the Q60 Red Sport around Los Angeles’s bay cities and it was one hell of a ride. The car was draped in Iridium Blue paint over Monaco Red upholstery, which was already sultry enough, but it had some additional features to enhance the appearance inside and out. The example I drove rang in at costs $64,130; the Red Sport starts at $55,995, while the less powerful basic Q60 will set you back $41,845. Worth the money? That’s up to you, but this is the most exciting Infiniti model in the market right now.
